Before Bam Adebayo started his seventh grade basketball season, he had already dunked a basketball. His motor has never quit running since then, either.
The 6-10, 255-pound Adebayo is being counted on to solve the deficiencies Kentucky had with its post play last season with his physical presence and dominant rebounding.
He's been called a "monster" by many because of the strength and energy he has on the court.

The Knights and the Taylor County Cardinals spent 80 minutes of regulation, 10 minutes of overtime, and 13 penalty kicks trading blows.
Blake Thompson settled the duel on the 13th penalty kick of the night, as his shot propelled the Knights to a 3-2 win over the Taylor County Cardinals on Sept. 22 and made them the No. 1 one seed in district tournament.

Mistakes once again plagued the Marion County Knights in their 43-6 loss to the Mercer County Titans in the Horns Home Improvement Game on Sept. 23.
"I was disappointed in regards to the lack of physicality," Knights Head Coach Allen Harmon said. “We weren't able to match Mercer County's physicality on defense as well. Mercer County did a good job at being physical."

Circumstances change given enough time.
If you were the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday, it may have taken you 11 years for the circumstances to change.
Tennessee defeated the Florida Gators 38-28, which ended the Gators' 11-game winning streak against the Vols. Finally, after 11 years of agonizing defeats, Tennessee got over the hump. Tennessee won, and can now celebrate that the streak is over.

The Marion County Lady Knights fell to the Taylor County Lady Cardinals 3-0 on Sept. 21. It was the Lady Knights' final district game of the regular season.
"We were only down 2-0 at the half and I feel we played well," Lady Knights Head Coach Daniel Johnson said. "I moved Taylor Simpson up top to get the offense going and to also show Taylor County something new."

The Marion County Knights began the week against the Washington County Commanders on Sept. 2 and posted a 162-177 win. Junior Houston Raikes led the Knights with a 39 while Bryce Spalding, Ethan Spalding and Trent Farmer each posted a 41.
The Knights also won against the Campbellsville Eagles on Sept. 21, 169-212. Bryce Spalding led the Knights with a 40, while Ethan Spalding posted a 41. Jon Connor Ross posted a 43, Houston Raikes posted a 45, and Trent Farmer posted a 47.

There I stood, anticipating the 2016 season. I’d gotten some new stuff over the summer and was thinking, “Maybe this would be the season.”
So there I was, patiently waiting … who am I kidding … I was anxious! You don’t practice all summer gettin’ ready’ and not be excited when the time comes! Course ‘I’ don’t practice very much!
